Services We Offer

I offer a full range of Wildlife Biologist and Ecology services for woodlands, forestry and other habitats as part of large, complex landscape management which includes, but not limited to the items below;

  • Deer and other Wildlife Management

    I can provide and implement complete wildlife and deer management plans to meet most objectives, especially those supporting governement grant requirements, e.g. Grey squirrel and Deer Management.  I follow the Royal Society of Biology professional standards, CIEEM and Forestry Commission guidance in delivering these plans. They are tailored to meet our client’s requirement and to can be tailored to meet the requirements of the various government grants.

    I am principally a wildlife biologist focusing on deer and other mammal species. I have become specialised in dealing with disease, mostly bTB, in deer populations. My wildlife management philosophy comes from the principle of only using lethal control as a measured resort once other options have been explored.

  • Manage and Protect Woodland Wildlife

    I can advise and assist in ensuring woodland management and forestry operations comply with the regulations for protecting wildlife species and habitats. I can carry out Operational Site Assessments following government guidelines and advice on species specific good practise to be followed and where this is not viable, any license requirements which may be required as mitigation.

  • Woodland Design Wildlife considerations

    I can advise and help with the planning of any new or existing woodlands to incorporate rides and glades which maximise biodiversity for wildlife and enable safe and effective areas for control of species having a negative impact.
